  5. FundIng Areas

  6. ImplementationDWR Guidelines • IRWM implementation grant competition is slightly different in that funding is allocated to individual funding areas. If there are multiple IRWM regions in a funding area, those IRWM regions are competing for the funding allocated to that funding area. DWR will make funding decisions based on application scores within a funding area. In order to ensure wise investments of State general obligation bond funds, minimum scores for various criteria may be implemented to ensure that quality proposals are awarded funding.

  7. Implementation Proposal • “Regional” projects • Reviewed by Project Screening Sub committee • Decision by BAIRWMP Coordinating Committee • Application due January 7 • http://bairwmp.org/draft-project-descriptions/prop-84-regional-project-2010-drafts

  14. Screening Process • Projects total ~ $29 million- • $15 Million likely available • Evaluation of projects Score-Plan and DWR scoring –IRWMP (28-46) + Cost/Benefit (15)+ Preferences (10) Screening factors timeliness/ feasibility/ CEQA

  15. Scoring 84 50

  16. Develop Options • Minimize number of projects • Emphasize scoring or objective(s) or CA preferences . . . • Proportionally reduce all eligible regional projects • Emphasize Effectiveness and Economic Analysis ?? Combination, Other & Criteria -Efficient use of resources - Maintain stakeholder involvement ?Encourage regional collaboration ? Anticipate plan update Recommendation to Coordinating Committee- October 25

  17. DWR questions 1) How is DWR approaching the first round of Prop 84 funding?- State overview- Raps approved and available funding. 2) What are DWR preferences and priorities? 3) What are expectations for future rounds of funding? 4) How is DWR approaching the 3 IRWM areas that are coterminous with the funding region (North Coast, Bay Area, SAWPA)? 5) Will DWR defer to the BAIRWMP Project Selection Process? 6) How will cost benefit analysis be applied for the 3 coterminous regions?
